Material Concerning Student Complaints. If Administration has received a formal complaint about a faculty member from a student, such complaint must be investigated. Before a formal investigation begins, Administration shall seek to determine the legitimacy of the complaint, and, if Administration deems it appropriate, may intervene to resolve the problem. If intervention fails, and the Administration determines that the complaint is legitimate, a formal investigation shall commence, in which the faculty member shall learn the identity of the student and shall have an opportunity to respond. If the student is currently enrolled in the faculty member’s class and wishes to remain anonymous, the investigation shall occur after final grades for the class have been submitted. If, after investigation, Administration affirms the complaint, copies of the complaints may be placed in the personnel file. In order to protect student(s) anonymity, a copy of any complaint that is placed in the personnel file shall have the student(s) names redacted, unless the student(s) waive their rights to anonymity. Copies of all materials relating to the complaint(s) must be provided to the faculty member prior to insertion into the personnel file.
